Opiate addiction is a disorder of the nervous system that is caused by the continuous, frequent use of opiates. Opiates are substances that are extremely addictive and found in both legal and illegal substances. As someone begins to use opiates, their body becomes used to the substance and decreases its production of the body’s natural painkiller, endorphins, as a response. Over time the body loses the ability to produce endorphins and the opiate user needs ever increasing amounts of the substance and to use it more frequently to maintain the same “high”. Stopping opiate use immediately can be very uncomfortable. It is suggested to begin a supervised opiate withdrawal using a safe treatment plan. This opiate hotline provides free information about the causes of opiate addiction and the various treatment methods that have been successfully used to help opiate users beat their addiction and live opiate free.
